I'm in the middle of replacing my clutch on my 03 Mach 1.
Two bolts in the most stubborn areas are keeping me from getting any further.
One of them is on the passenger side xpipe to manifold. There is just no room to get a deep socket on there and attatch anything else.
The other is the one on the top of the bellhouse. Once again there is just no access to it.
I don't understand how anyone else got these off. Please help.


There's no way I'm paying $450 for a shop to do this.

Come on. Someone has to know how right?

 

I loosened up the motor mounts and let the tranny tip downward, then went to the end at the tailshaft and with about 3 feet of extensions and a wobble end socket was able to get the top bolt loose

 

The same concept (several extensions) with a wobble end extension @ socket will allow you to reach the 2 exhaust manifold bolts. Also, use a 6 point socket, not a 12 point
